Skye Records discography

This is a discography of the albums released on the Skye label between 1968 and 1970. The main series of albums and the Skye Discovery series are listed in the first two sections. The third section is a single album which does not appear to fit into a series.

Skye became part of the Buddah Group in 1970 and four further albums were released using the Skye main series numbering but with Buddah labels. These form the last section on the page.

Skye was set up by Gary McFarland, Gabor Szabo, Cal Tjader and Norman Schwartz. Albums by McFarland, Szabo and Tjader were released on the label.

Tracks : God Only Knows, By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Sunday Will Never Be The Same, Lady Jane, Flamingo, Flea Market, Here, There And Everywhere, Three Years Ago, O Morro, Melancholy Baby, Up, Up And Away
